Ultralight, yet durable, featherweight DCF8 Stuff Sacks should be a key component of every backcountry traveler’s kit because they provide redundancy to your systems. Not only do they help you organize your backpack, but because they are made with 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite Fabrics (formerly Cuben Fiber), they can help keep your clothes, food and sleeping much drier in the stormiest weather.

Hyperlite Mountain Gear’s ultralight stuff sacks are very strong, nearly weightless, made of 100% waterproof Dyneema® Composite and are essential for protecting against rain and moisture. HMG's stuff sacks come in either round roll-top versions or flat draw-string versions ranging in size from nano to jumbo intended to suit any of your lightweight outdoor adventure needs.

DCF8 Stuff Sacks are transparent and great for compartmentalizing your gear in a way that allows you to see what is inside each sack while keeping your gear or food absolutely dry.

DCF11 Stuff Sacks are made from a version of Dyneema® that is 40% stronger and a bit more durable. DCF11 Stuff Sacks come only in black and are great for storing tent stakes, cooking equipment, or any of your other gear, and used with DCF8 Stuff Sacks, are a great way to color code your compartmentalized gear.
